A Ferrets Day!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

Well, not a lot has happened today, we woke up early, (I've got a Grumbly Tum) and Old Two Legs didn't! It was The Missus who let me out in the garden 'cos she was up at four thirty being 'Inspired' by the dawn lights.

We were going to tell her they are the street lights but decided against it 'cos we didn't want to spoil her creative moment!

OTL was up early as well and he was planning some more paperwork and manufacturing!

Boring or Wot!

The morning walk was fun, we saw no one except that Rook who reckons he has a taste for ferrets!

Did we tell him that our ferrets have a taste for Rook!

Miss Snowflake was enjoying all the sniffs.

With a little sniff here and a little sniff there!

OTL was having fun photographing at ground level. Mr Brambles dived off into the undergrowth, so he didn't get his photo taken!

This is a good sniff as well!

On the way down to The Beach we spotted that Rook who fancied a nibble of ferret! Of course, he was trying to look all big and terrible but he decided to clear off before the ferrets had got down the path!

I'll be back!

Snowflake was having a joke with Holly 'cos she wanted to know what was the best way to get some Rays!

Got any Factor Thirty Five I could borrow?

Then she was off onto the rocks and sea weed for a ferret about!

Look! There is loads of rocks out there!

We had a go at digging a couple of holes but my heart wasn't really into it and Holly was more interested in hunting Rooks!

I really fancy going home for a snooze!

Back home I retired to bed while Holly set about hunting food! OTL went off to work and so the day past in relative quiet!

We went out at lunchtime but my heart wasn't real in it at all!

Back home to rest while OTL actually sneaked off to do some deliveries and I didn't care!

I'm feeling better, not a hundred percent but better, I know that 'cos I've just mugged a bit of OTL's cookie biscuit!

Poor Daisy, so sorry to hear you're a bit under the weather, do you think it might be because you've been swimming in the cold sea? I do hope you feel 100% soon, we can't do with you being a poorly woofer. Seems like it was a bit of a quiet day, which is good sometimes. That rook is going to get himself in a lot of trouble if he keeps tormenting the ferrets, I reckon Holly will sort him out. I think you were quite right not to spoil TM's dawn lights experience. Hope you get some nice chicken to help your little tum. I'm sure OTL will let you snuggle up to him this evening and maybe give you a little titbit to cheer you up. I bet Holly will snuggle up to you as well, she's probably wondering why you're so quiet today. Take care, get as many snoozes in as you can and hope tomorrow you're back to your usual self.Love, extra wags and licks from little Arch xxxx

About Me

Hello, my name is Daisy and I was taken away from
Mum and Dad by Old Two Legs and The Missus one cold dark evening. It was a bit
traumatic at the time but we all soon settled down and everything is OK now.

My sister Holly came to live with us about a year later and between the pair of us we manage to keep these Two Legs in line!

In December 2012, we were joined by Snowflake, a little ferret we found in our garden. She had her own home in OTL's office called Snowy Heights!

Then in July 2013 Mr Brambles, a super Sandy Hob Ferret, came to live with us and be a mate for Snowflake. We sadly lost Mr Brambles to old age in September 2015. A gentle ferret who will be missed terribly. We also lost Miss Snowflake in November 2015. She has left a big hole in our hearts, she was a real Daddy's Girl to the end.

There arrived two new ferrets in August 2015, Miss May and Miss April who are sisters, born in 2013, we think! They were full of fun and mischief and kept up the tradition of pinching our biscuits, just like Brambles did!

Sadly Miss April contracted Cardiomyopathy, which is a heart condition. She died in September 2016 and is resting in a flower pot in the garden with Snowflake and Brambles.

We were down to two ferrets and an empty cage but that didn't last long, a brother and sister ferrets needed a 'Forever Home' and Fred & Wilma moved in. They are about two and a half years old, so they were born 2012/2013. Fred is a gentle soul who loves cuddles with OTL and Wilma a bossy sister but loves OTL! We reckon them to be Polecat Coloured Ferrets.

It was a shock when Wilma was attacked by a dog and unfortunately died of shock a few hours later. Like Snowflake, Brambles and April, she is also sleeping in a flower pot in our garden.

Fred was not happy about being on his own and he was introduced to Wendy, a Polecat Coloured Ferret who found her way to the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue.

Introductions went well to begin with but within a day or so she began instructing Fred on just who was really in charge!

We had something similar with Miss May who lost her sister to Cardiomyopathy (Weak Heart). Miss May is a feisty young lady and she was introduced to Eric de Ferret while we were down at the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue and although she tried to be a bit bossy, he was having none of it! He may only be six months old but her didn't back down and the pair came to an agreement!

So young Eric moved in and they both started to learn how to get on together!

OTL takes us walking every day and we have 'Adventures'! The Missus feeds us, so, what more can a pair of puppies and family of fun loving ferrets ask for?
